Chapter 1153: Don’t Be Too Greedy!

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1153: Don’t Be Too Greedy!

In fact, when the teleportation array malfunctioned years ago, it not only inflicted serious injuries on Fang Bai but also profoundly affected his friends and relatives. When they emerged in the True Martial Realm, they found themselves scattered across different regions, each in different corners of the sky.

Fang Bai remains unaware of this to this day and believes that his friends and relatives all arrived safely in the True Martial Realm, living in the same place.

Fang Bai led Wu De out of the stone house for two reasons. Firstly, he didn’t want Wu De to linger in the underground palace below and delay their plans, risking detection by other martial artists which could spell trouble. Secondly, he wanted to inquire about the current situation of those friends and relatives.

"Elder Wu, greetings!"

The Linghu sisters also recognized Wu De, knowing that the Fat Taoist had a good relationship with Fang Bai, and were heartened to meet someone from the Secular World. They approached Wu De and both bowed respectfully.

Although the cultivation level of the Linghu sisters was only at the initial Desolate Level, Wu De regarded them as Fang Bai’s women and didn’t dare to put on airs in front of them. He smiled and appraised them for a moment, clicking his tongue in admiration, "Did you two young ladies consume Immortal Pills or Divine Medicine? How come you have become even more beautiful?"

Linghu Qian Jiao, the more bashful of the sisters, knew Wu De was joking but couldn’t help blushing.

Linghu Baimei, however, giggled and said to Wu De, "Elder Wu, did you eat plenty of meat, for how come you have grown even fatter?"

"..."

Wu De blinked his small eyes, unsure of how to respond, thinking mournfully to himself: Taoist Master is fat, sure, but why must you say it in public? It’s quite damaging to one’s self-esteem.

Standing behind the Linghu sisters, Zhuge Lian saw Wu De’s embarrassed expression and couldn’t help but burst into a giggle.

"Brother Fang, who is this young girl?"

Had it been someone else who laughed like that, Wu De might have lost his temper immediately, but he did not dare to act rashly towards the women associated with Fang Bai. He pointed at Zhuge Lian with a look of dejection and asked.

"I am Zhuge Lian, a personal transmission disciple of the Xuannv Sect."

Zhuge Lian introduced herself crisply.

Wu De frowned and said, "Xuannv Sect? Oh, I see. The Dragon Tiger Palace ended up like this because of your Xuannv Sect. However, I heard that though you destroyed the Dragon Tiger Palace, your own sect suffered greatly, losing a lot of Essence Energy. Doesn’t sound like a profitable deal to me!"

Initially, Wu De planned to steal some precious cultivation resources from Dragon Tiger Palace and then from Xuannv Sect. Now, knowing that Zhuge Lian was a disciple of Xuannv Sect and closely related to Fang Bai, he dismissed the idea of offending the Xuannv Sect.

Fortunately, Wu De abandoned this thought; otherwise, if he had indeed visited the Xuannv Sect, which was severely weakened, they wouldn’t have been able to protect the resources accumulated over generations. Should those precious resources have been stolen, thousands of disciples from top to bottom in the Xuannv Sect would have nowhere even to cry.

As Fang Bai introduced Hu Ren and his family, Wu De learned they were merely acquaintances who had met by chance, and his attitude cooled substantially, assuming a more superior demeanor.

Strong individuals in the True Martial Realm are often very arrogant. Hu Ren and his family were accustomed to this and didn’t feel any dissatisfaction with Wu De’s coldness, seeing it as nothing out of the ordinary.

"We are eight people in total, so the resources in the underground palace have to be divided equally into eight parts. Wu De, you don’t have any objections, do you?"

Although Fang Bai was asking for Wu De’s opinion, his tone was firm, almost leaving no room for objection.

"No..."

Wu De, although heartbroken, realized that opposing Fang Bai’s decision was futile, so he could only nod his head reluctantly, feeling as though his heart was bleeding.

At that moment, the faint shouts of killing that had been barely discernible seemed to become much clearer, clearly indicating that martial artists were engaged in a fight, unknowingly moving toward the back mountain.

Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before the tranquil back mountain would witness the figures of martial artists from both sides clashing fiercely, and the secrets of the underground palace might also be discovered.

A sharp glint flashed in Fang Bai’s eyes, no longer speaking to Wu De, he began to circle around the stone house.

A moment later, strange and profound runes appeared on the ground surrounding the stone house. These runes were connected to form a concealment formation.

Then Fang Bai kept throwing essence stones, embedding them into the critical positions of the formation.

Wu De and the others, watching the runes on the ground that seemed like random scribbles, were utterly confused about what Fang Bai was doing and could only stare intently.

After throwing out several hundred essence stones, Fang Bai finally clapped his hands, returned to the side of Wu De and the others, and declared, "Accomplished! Conceal!"

The runes containing several hundred essence stones sparkled with dazzling brilliance, emitting hundreds of essence energies that intertwined around the stone house, causing the space there to twist.

Suddenly, the large stone house vanished into thin air.

"Wow, the stone house is gone!"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Is this a magic trick?"

"This is truly amazing!"

...

Wu De and the others stared in awe as the stone house disappeared, unable to recover their senses for a long while.

"The stone house hasn’t disappeared; it’s still in the same place. It’s just that I’ve set up a concealment formation around the stone house which affects your vision, so you can’t see it."

Fang Bai explained with a smile.

"Concealment formation... this is interesting!"

With a face full of envy, Wu De rubbed his palms together and said to Fang Bai, "Brother Fang, when you have time, could you enlighten Taoist Master me? Also... if you’re willing to teach me the formation, Taoist Master here will share a tenth of my cultivation resources with you... Too little? How about a fifth... or a third? Damn, why are you still shaking your head? A third is quite a lot, don’t be too greedy!"

Fang Bai shook his head and said, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to teach you, but to become an array master requires extremely high talent, which might be said to be more challenging than becoming both an alchemist and an artifact refiner!"

Wu De blinked his small eyes and said, "Taoist Master here is highly talented! I’ve been around for decades, and I’ve never seen anyone more talented than I am... except you! Brother Fang, for the sake of our friendship, I’m begging you, alright?"

Seeing Fang Bai still shaking his head, Wu De became anxious and shouted loudly, "If you teach me the formation, I will tell you the whereabouts of Su Linglong!"

Fang Bai said, "Speaking of which, I was just about to ask you: after you guys used the teleportation array to arrive at the True Martial Realm, where did you settle? I came here this time to search for you!"

Wu De exclaimed, "Us?"

"What ’us’? Originally, hundreds of martial artists from the Secular World grandly entered the teleportation array. The array seemed a bit unstable at the time, and when we arrived at the True Martial Realm, I found that the people around me had disappeared. I was transported to a nation called Weixiang Nation, and I have no idea where the others are! I’ve searched for over a year and only found that girl Su Linglong!"
